In my experience, most people don't use luarocks anyway.

  luarocks is easy to use, once you understand the importance of —-local all-the-things. Anyway, luarocks is easy to use, and is perfectly easy to integrate into most modern build and distribution tools. However, Lua is everywhere, so of course: ymmv. Disclaimer: I’ve been using Lua for decades now, its Just Great™ in my opinion.

    luarocks has too many packages which require building C libs from scratch. It's basically unusable on Windows

      as long as I'm in a vs developer prompt on mine I haven't had a problem. I did build my own Lua though.

      And to make things worse, many of them do not compile successfully. That said, luarocks is still easy to use, the problem is unmaintained packages.

  They should, it is a breeze.
